Punctuation, and visual tools such as ‘info graphics’ and the use of colour, once intended to help readers navigate and prioritize content, become the subject of her work. Text boxes, horizontal rules and punctuation are sliced from their source and distilled into dense microbial groups. These conspiracies of clippings are re-arranged to fill spaces that hint of infinity, and to a stillness left by the settled dust of yesterdays media blizzard. For this new installation and her debut solo show in London, Dipple will show a new body of work and create two new installations glued directly onto the gallery wall and destroyed at the end of the show. Dipple will construct a unique line of dashes and hyphens and a new piece, some 3 years in planning, using the blue horizontal rules cut from the Travel supplement of the Weekend Guardian. The work is a growing archive of marks and signs often barely registered, but subliminally embedded. Alex Dipple Lives and Works in Brighton. A Conspiracy of Clippings, is her first solo show in London and follows recent shows in Canada, Nottingham, Manchester and the seminal 2006 Brighton show, ‘A Continuous Line of Dashes and Hyphens’. She was a recipient of Grants for the Arts funding in 2005, and has featured in several recent recent articles, including Art Republic’s, ‘Making yesterdays news today’s art’. Campbell Works is an ongoing project by artists Neil Taylor and Harriet Murray. By extending their studio practice to develop the collaboration and curation of new ventures with artists, writers, and scientists, Campbell Works acts as a meeting point for ideas and aims to explore contextual relationships between art, spaces and people. www.campbellworks.org _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
